    Does anyone know the actual clearance requirement for the Tiguan allspace on 235/55 18 (or was it 235/50 1? I found the below on Amazon, whilst there are some reviews having concerns with quality I figured for the 2-3 trips a year up fallscreek should be fine? Goodyear 77958: 7 mm Car Passenger Snow Chains, TUV and ONORM Approved, Size 130 Goodyear 77958: 7 mm Car Passenger Snow Chains, TUV and ONORM Approved, Size 130 : Amazon.com.au: Automotive

    I’m going to pull the trigger if someone can give me some accurate measurements, and happy to rent the chain out for fellow melbournians, I figured if the chain ends up breaking after 1 season, $50 bucks a trip is not bad, it’s costing our family a insane amount to go to the snow, $50 is literately pocket change….
    Why have you opted for these chains? They are going to cost you just under $200 bucks, aren't there local mobs that can provide you with similar chains with the added bonus of fitting them before hand on your car ?

    You are exactly right, I ended up going to Thomas town, and a local supplier fitted me with 9mm chains, I got some precision clippers out to measure the clearance of my Tiguan, it’s 13.6mm the 12mm was touch and go, but the 9mm chain was perfect.

    They said it’s rated the same weight tolerance as the 12mm

    Where abouts in Thomastown?
    What wheels did you get the chains fitted to 18 inch or 20 inch and I'm assuming for the front wheels on the Tiguan?
